Beginner-friendly and easy to make, this cowl works up quickly using just two skeins of Lion Brand Feels Like Butta yarn: one black and one white.
The smooth, plush yarn makes it incredibly soft and comfortable to wear, while the striped pattern adds a fun, festive flair. The project is as enjoyable to create as it is to wear, making it a great choice for gifts or personal accessories.
The pattern includes five size options to fit toddlers, children, teens, and adults (including XL). No matter which size you choose, you’ll achieve that dramatic vertical stripe look with minimal effort.
Suggested sizes range from 5 x 19 inches for toddlers to 13 x 31 inches for XL adults, with stitch and row counts provided for each. The easy construction and repetitive stitch pattern make it an ideal project for relaxing crochet sessions.
Whether you’re dressing up for Halloween, adding flair to your autumn outfits, or simply keeping warm in style, the Ribbed Knit Look Crochet Cowl is a versatile and fun addition to your handmade collection.
Choose traditional black and white stripes for a classic Beetlejuice-inspired vibe, or experiment with other color combinations to create a look that’s uniquely your own.
